Topic: Musical visualization (Read 4006 times)

I think most of us listen to music must of the time in front of the computer, personally I find it very hard to enjoy the music when reading or chatting with people simultaneously , and stare into the wall is not so interesting either, is there some kind visualization that will visualize the music in an meaningful way, and I am not talking about windows media player, there must be something better.

Have tried G-force 3.7 now, I must say wow!This looks very good, very hypnotic, and adds visual dimension to the music...Looks like I need to buy an second monitor for this, so I can have it running on an separate monitor...

I also have noticed that it consume about 50% of my cpu, might be cause I have a quite old GFX (ATI Radeon 9200SE).Is it a native software only, or does it use the GPU as well ?

Also is their any advantage to use G-force in your media player, for instance will it analyze the audio better ? I have not got it to work in Xmplay yet, so I have only got the stand-alone version to work...Maybe it will respond better to the music if I use it in the media player.

Type h to get a list of keyboard shortcuts. I think "pixel-doubling" and "line-boost" help with slowness.There are other things you can do, like limit the frame-rate or frame-size to help with speed.(I have a fairly fast machine, so I forget the details of all that.)

I don't think the standalone responds differently, but I could be wrong. (I use MediaMonkey, a great player/organiser for your music.) Type + or - to adjust the sensitivity to the music.

It's quite configurable if you read the documentation, and they have a user forum at their site. You can even design/share your own "elements" if you're technically inclined.

Alright, thanks for the tips, I am sure that help, it is very important that it flows 100% smooth, otherwise you do not get that hypnotic effect which draws you in...

I still got an old single core processor (northwood 2.2 GHZ), with extremely bad multitasking... so I doubt I can get it to flow unless I turn of all other programs. I might buy the Core i7 next month, even though the prices are sky high right now on the market...
